Whole Foods service counter recently painted black for an elite contrast with white and stainless steel.

NYC Commercial Painting

We love Whole Foods the business and foods which are whole and healthy. We stay healthy so we can take on projects of all kinds all over the Big Apple and northern New Jersey, residential and commercial. Whole Foods opened in the fall of 1980 in Austin, Texas, and now has 500 stores across the country. Here we had to work after hours, obviously. You just cannot spray paint around food or customers! Our team is always willing to paint odd hours, nights or weekends, so a business does not lose any of its open time.

The somewhat ugly yellow-greenish counter here had to be updated, and simple black promotes elegance and style, yes, even at a Whole Foods service counter. And it’s the ideal contrast to bright white tiled walls and stainless steel. The purpose is that you don’t really see the freshly painted front, but focus on the food, the staff present to help you, and the specifics of your order. This way, you can stay healthy, too, and not be unnecessarily distracted by some outdated shade of lemon-lime paint.

Aha moment, when classy black reigns at this counter!

Starting the job, protecting everything, looking forward to the new look ourselves!

Meat shopping in style

Brooklyn Commercial Refrigeration Painter

That we eat with our eyes is a well-known cliché which highlights the value of presentation, whether it’s on the plate or in the case at the grocery store. We examine the marbling in ribeye steaks, meat stripes in bacon and fresh color and appearance of hamburger, chicken and pork chops. We may not look beyond this to the shelves and display cases which hold the meats, but surely we would notice peeling paint or rusty metal. And likely, we might then look somewhere else for carnivore vittles.

This meat market in Brooklyn is experienced not only in all things meat-related, but also in the value of sharp, clean, neat showcases for their products. We began the project by removing all the shelving and stripping off the old yellow-greenish failing paint. For superior bonding, most surfaces require a primer product which adheres to the material and prepares an excellent base on which to apply the final paint coat. Some of the work was done in a temporary pop-up paint tent we often use on a job site to contain dust and spray paint particles. Our white primer of choice did its job well, and we finished the shelf units with a glossy ebony black - the ideal, even elegant, background for meat display.
